Comment
This coin celebrates the painter and graphic artist Alexander Archipenko. A famous 20th-century sculptor and founder of the 20th-century Art Nouveau style in sculpture, Archipenko revolutionized art. Born in Kyiv, Archipenko was for his entire life fascinated by the beauty of his own country, the magic of the Trypillian culture, the antiquity of Cuman (Polovtsi) sculptures, and the colors of peasant ceramics. Archipenko's works are characterized by dynamic and laconic compositions and forms. Most of his compositions are done in Cubic, Constructivist, and Abstract Art styles. He synthesized painting and sculpture by combining two and three dimensional forms. Archipenko has left behind over a thousand sculptures and paintings.Interesting fact
The coin features a unique design by Ukrainian artist Alexander Archipenko, who was known for his innovative use of negative space in his sculptures. The coin's design incorporates Archipenko's signature style, with the numeral "2" depicted in a stylized, abstract form that appears to be floating in mid-air. This design element not only adds visual interest to the coin but also serves as a nod to Archipenko's artistic legacy.
